He advised it was not on the books of the Biller Property agency.

However, that doesn’t mean the property isn’t being offered off-market, which is what they did with their previous home sale.

Biller has been the couple’s go-to agent, securing their last sale in Rose Bay in 2020 at $3.8m.

The semi had been bought two years before their marriage in 2016 at $2.35m.

The Franklins bought off the plan at this development.

Rose Bay’s median unit price has grown 15 per cent over the last 12 months.

Their current luxury ground-floor apartment abode was bought off-the-plan in late-2020 and then settled at $5m in mid-2021.

The rumoured move interstate comes after Franklin’s wife Jesinta, who is about to become an accredited players’ agent with the AFL, revealed the superstar forward has plenty of options in front of him after it was revealed he is unhappy with the Sydney Swans’ current contract offer.

Franklin joined the Swans from Hawthorn in 2014 on a nine-year $10m deal, but a drastically reduced contract has the 35-year-old looking for the door.
